all the rest are dead – now its only me
you are removed and unhooked like a chain
to know the why and how before a thing ends
in
retrospect
surely hurts a lot
but I know now why I stayed
because I had to be here to see
our love die
in little bits you’ve been killing this us that we have made
I had to stay here to bury our love
to see it die in the flood
see it die in the fire
to see it die
all alone and happy
maybe now I can shuffle forward
into the next place
with my bloody heart
intact
with my hands that are nameless
and brave.
